...cutting edge architecture, residents recalled the novelty of the House’s avant-garde art, which Busch characterized as “Picassoesque.” Yet in the November 28 edition of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, Harvard alumni expressed disapproval of the artistic quality of the mural decorating Quincy dining hall. Gordon G. Sampson 1910 and Bernard A. Merrian 1909 agreed that the “graffito resembled the doodling of inmates in a mental hospital.” Despite its controversial décor, Quincy House led in popularity, with 29 percent of freshmen identifying...
...such a thing as sentimental value. My clunker has loads of that. We raised three babies and a toddler in that old van, which means it was doomed from the start to be both filthy and loved.

Just a few weeks ago, the People’s House finally lowered the iron curtain, and purged the freshman from dining during lunch and dinner, reminiscent of Harvard President Josiah Quincy...

Mossavar-Rahmani ’09. He attempted to strike funding for On Harvard Time’s mural, but the motion ultimately failed. “I think On Harvard Time is a kind of clique that funds itself pretty generously so it’s not clear why the UC should fund a group that’s already pretty well taken care...
